Leveraging your SIEM to Catch and Respond to Ransomware

Over the past three years, ransomware has jumped into the spotlight of the cyber threat landscape.

In fact, during 2015 the FBI received 2,453 complaints related to ransomware malware attacks, which resulted in $24.1 million in losses for victims.

In this webinar, Randy Franklin Smith of Ultimate Windows Security will be joined by Nathaniel “Q” Quist to discuss how to leverage SIEM technology to catch and respond—even automatically within seconds—to ransomware to prevent it from spreading and reaching the critical mass.

The duo will also share some cool technical tips for creating signature-based rules for catching specific ransomware and explore how to use behavioral rules to detect late stage ransomware on a given endpoint.

As organisations advance their security posture and reduce risk, email security continues to be a critical concern. Between password leaks, brute force attacks and phishing, email credentials and actual email sends continue to be at jeopardy. Of further concern is that missing the initial compromise – often via email platforms – can enable the attacker to collect data and move laterally into more valuable environments.

In this webinar, Susana Hernansanz and Sam Straka – LogRhythm Technical Product Managers – will highlight the value of ingesting and monitoring O365 logs via your NextGen SIEM. With LogRhythm the data will be enriched, normalised and contextualised for efficient use in threat hunting and alarms.

Building a Cybersecurity Architecture to Combat Today’s Risks:
Foundations, Visions, Testing and the Role of SIEM

The rapid development and adoption of cloud infrastructure, mobile workforces, IoT and other susceptible environments has mandated a reappraisal of security architecture. Modern organisations are recognising their security posture may not be keeping up with the threat landscape, and this leads to frightening discoveries around the safety of their data and networks.

Join Erik Bartholomy – a Security Architect at LogRhythm – and Eric Parent – CISO at Sonepar – to discover how security architecture is developing to face the current threat landscape. Failures in past layered approaches are frequent, and serve as valuable learning lessons on the importance of proactive monitoring and response.

During the webinar you will learn:

• How LogRhythm’s POC enabled Sonepar’s team to efficiently expedite threat detection, and improve their SOC and analyst efficiency

• The guiding principles and technology behind modern security frameworks and architecture, including the rise in popularity and value of the Zero Trust Framework

• How security architecture helps align IT security with business strategy and current threats

• Adapting architecture to accommodate different environments, including on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud

Effective security operations are the first line of defence when it comes to preventing cyberattacks. In order to accomplish this, organisations need a mature security program that leverages people, process, and technology to enable rapid detection and response.

Yet some organisations struggle with the overall effectiveness of their security operations. They lack a model for maturing their capabilities. A mature security operation enables threats to be detected earlier in the cyberattack lifecycle which is critical.

Join this webinar to discover LogRhythm's Security Operations Maturity Model (SOMM) which was developed to help organisations assess their level of maturity and plan for making improvements over time.

Organisations can use this model to evaluate their current security operations and develop a roadmap to achieve the level that is appropriate in the light of their resources, budget, and risk tolerance. You will also hear about the critical measures of security operations effectiveness.

Is your security team struggling with blind spots? Inundated with false negative alarms? You’re not alone. Legacy SIEMs hinder your ability to achieve your security objectives. Traditional solutions are limited and often lack the flexibility to scale and grow as your security needs increase. To combat today’s threats, you need a next-gen SIEM that leverages the architecture and security capabilities that are best suited to detect both known and unknown threats within your environment.

In this on-demand webcast, Christopher Crowley, senior instructor at SANS, and Barbara Filkins, senior analyst at SANS, join Sara Kingsley, senior product marketing manager at LogRhythm, to explain what comprises a modern SIEM solution and share tips for evaluating a next-gen SIEM platform.

In this webcast, you’ll learn:
- What makes a SIEM “next-generation”
- How to evaluate a next-generation SIEM
- The requirements that should guide your next-generation SIEM POC

Watch the webinar to discover the tools you need to evaluate and choose a next-gen SIEM that fits the requirements of your organisation.

In this real training for free session, we will discuss the minimum toolset and data requirements (and not necessarily volume) you need for successful threat hunting. We will take into account that while some of you can devote most of your time to threat hunting, most of us have limited time and resources for this activity. The good news is that threat hunting is flexible and anyone can do it, ranging from a few hours a week to full-time.

As an example, a great type of threat hunting is to look for unrecognised/suspicious executables running on your network. You can dip your toe in the water with this type of hunt with a small commitment of time and resources or you can dive in deep with a major data collection and analysis effort. Starting out simple means you just focus on EXE names; baseline the EXE names being executed on your network, and then perform a daily review of new EXE names showing up for the first time. You can get this information from event ID 4688 and the query capabilities are very light. But I think you’ll be surprised what you are able to learn and catch.

We will take the same approach with a total of 7 types of threat hunting:

LogRhythm and Cisco are committed to helping you enhance your security operations through the seamless integration and powerful capabilities of the LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform and Cisco’s Threat Grid, Umbrella, Firepower and ISE.

Budget constraints is a common complaint from security professionals. However many of the tools that can solve problems in the enterprise are free. You don’t have to buy commercial products to secure your entire enterprise. Of course, there are some areas that do require a PO, however, there are also several areas of your security program that can be implemented using free and/or open source tools.

In this webinar we look at which aspects of your security program can benefit the most from these tools, and how to configure and use them.

Steve Kaufman, Technical Product Manager from LogRhythm, will be joining the webinar to cover how security technology vendors are aligning with open source tools. He’ll explore how LogRhythm’s architecture, including elasticsearch, enables the product to integrate with open source tools.

In this webinar Randy Franklin Smith (UWS) and Greg Foss (LogRhythm) take a real-world example of a SIEM, in this case LogRhythm, and an IAM, Okta, and demonstrate how their integration matures an organisation’s security posture.

We’ll dive into how Security Analysts can make more informed decisions and perform better investigations when they have a full picture of IAM events spanning on-prem and cloud-based activity and how organisations can respond rapidly to security alarms with automatic protective measures.

In this webcast, discover how to:
• Visualise and analyse data from Okta in your SIEM
• Identify accounts that have compromised credentials by monitoring for successful authentications paired with failed multifactor logins
• Utilise the Okta API to automate security tasks
• Build upon identity monitoring to work towards a “Zero Trust” architecture

The Internet of Things (IoT) will generate, process and share more data than ever before. Data that needs to be secured.

The data generated by non-traditional sensors and systems can help detect anomalous behaviour and maintain the uptime we expect from the new wave of connected devices.

In this webinar, LogRhythm’s security experts will explain how this data can be used, with examples from a range of industries – from jet turbine manufacturers to in-home automation providers.

Join the webinar to discover:
1. How IoT devices blur the boundaries between IT security, operational technology and security in the physical world
2. How to gain visibility into the data generated by these devices – and what it really means
3. What customers have experienced through real-life use cases

Last year, 69 percent of surveyed organizations reported incidents that resulted in data theft — but not from external attacks. These threats came from inside the organization. User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) plays a crucial role in detecting the user behavior that can put your company at risk

LogRhythm UEBA solutions uncover user-based threats with diverse analytical methods, including scenario- and behavior-based techniques, which deliver comprehensive visibility across the full spectrum of attacks.

LogRhythm can help maximize efficiency and minimize risk, to help you solve security use cases such as insider threats, account compromise, privileged account abuse, and more.

When threats occur, understaffed security operations centers (SOCs) lack sufficient access to contextual information. This lack of visibility is a key problem that LogRhythm CloudAI for User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) are designed to solve.

Alongside an expanding attack surface resulting from the growth of cloud, mobile and IoT, organizations are now increasingly faced by internal threats. Insider threats, compromised accounts, administrator abuse and other user-based threats are some of the most damaging vulnerabilities and the hardest to detect. This has led to the evolution of user and entity-based analytics (UEBA) solutions, designed to address user based threats, and through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning these solutions are advancing threat detection capabilities in modern security operation centers.

In this webinar, Mark Settle, LogRhythm Product Marketing Manager, and Samir Jain, Senior Product Manager, UEBA, will discuss the evolving UEBA market, and advancements in the technology fueling these solutions.

Join Stephen Frank, director of technology & security at National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA), and Matt Willems, LogRhythm senior technical product manager, as they discuss how to apply UEBA to meet security use cases. The duo will outline NHLPA’s key use cases and how LogRhythm is supporting their security initiatives.

Phishing campaigns are among the most common and damaging cyberattacks. Despite how common and successful phishing attacks are, often times organisations and their employees are ill-prepared to handle these threats.

In this webinar, Greg Foss, LogRhythm Manager of Global Security Operations, Paul Asadoorian, Security Weekly CEO and Founder, and John Strand, Black Hills Information Security Owner and Security Analyst, discuss phishing attacks and how you can protect yourself from them. Additionally, the three go on to discuss how LogRhythm’s open-source Phishing Intelligence Engine (PIE), can help streamline and automate the entire process of tracking, analysing, and responding to phishing emails.

Watch now to learn how LogRhythm is helping to automate the detection and response to phishing attacks.

Threat hunting is the latest strategy to keep networks secure. Put simply, it refers to the process of proactively searching for advanced threats that may have eluded security systems. In other words, going after the ones that slipped through the net.

As the value of patient records, infrastructure, and services grows, the health care industry continues to become a major target for cyberattacks With an expanding attack surface — due to cloud infrastructure — it's critical this vulnerable industry continues to mature its security capabilities for its most valuable data and apps.

Epic Systems is a market-leading Electronic Health Records (EHR) vendor widely used by large hospitals and health systems to access, organise, store, and share patient medical records. Given the volume and sensitivity of personal data on Epic platforms, it’s critical to ensure threats to patient privacy are detected and mitigated quickly.

In this webinar you’ll learn how organisations in health care are using LogRhythm’s Epic Hyperspace App, combined with traditional security data, to provide greater value and network visibility. Members of LogRhythm’s Strategic Integration team and Health Care Sales Engineering team will show you how LogRhythm’s Epic Hyperspace App provides a focused point solution for real time visibility — as well as detection of suspicious activity within an Epic deployment. See how this app provides real-time visibility (including alarms and reports) into:

· Inappropriate access or access attempts to patient medical records
· Inappropriate attempts to record or download patient medical records
· Users and systems trying to access the EHR
· Context of the user who is accessing the patient records
· Logic or reasoning behind the attempted access to medical records

If you have Epic and LogRhythm, this is a must-see webinar. If you use another EHR, use the information from this webinar as a template on how and why to monitor your EHR platform.
